Windergy India 2026 in Chennai, Wind Capacity at 58.52 GW

The eighth edition of Windergy India, the country's biggest wind energy show, will be held from 7 to 9 October 2026 at the Chennai Trade Centre. Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Education and Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Pralhad Joshi, will inaugurate it on 8 October 2026, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said on 5 October 2026.

Where India's wind sector stands

The ministry set out the numbers that frame the show. India added a record 6.05 GW of wind capacity in the financial year 2025-26. Cumulative installed wind capacity had reached 58.52 GW by August 2026, and another 28 GW is under implementation. The target the sector is working towards is 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030.

Who else will be there

The inaugural session will also have Shripad Yesso Naik, Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy and Power, and C. T. R. Nirmal Kumar, Tamil Nadu's Minister for Energy Resources and Law, besides senior officials of the central and state governments and wind industry associations. Global memoranda of understanding will be announced at the opening, key sector reports released, and states that have led in wind energy recognised.

How big the show is

Windergy India 2026 is laid out as a three-day trade fair with a two-day conference, along with technical sessions, round tables, live demonstrations, business-to-business and business-to-government meetings and an academia connect. Around 400 exhibitors from more than 20 countries and some 500 delegates are expected, with country pavilions from Denmark, Germany and Spain.

What the sessions cover

The technology on display runs to next-generation turbine platforms, heavy-duty gearboxes, artificial-intelligence driven operations and maintenance, and offshore wind. Conference tracks will take up policy frameworks, manufacturing competitiveness, repowering strategies and the offshore frontier. Repowering means replacing old, smaller turbines at an existing wind site with modern machines, which lifts generation without needing new land. The event is organised by the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) and PDA Ventures, with support from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and the Ministry of Power.
